Nine fabula’s days in Sri Lanka - Last year we booked a tour to Sri Lanka and the Maldives with Flamingo Tours. We have been looking forward to this trip and was off course excited about meeting Flamingo Tours partner in Sri Lanka Mahaweli Tours. Mahaweli Tours was represented by their guide Chanuka Weerasinghe. After a fabula’s tour around some of the most amazing parts of Sri Lanka we owe a deep gratitude to Mahaweli Tours for choosing Chanuka Weerasinghe as our guide. Also we owe a deep gratitude to Chanuka our guide, not only for his warmth, open and kind being, no just as much for his ability to learn what was important to us, and how we learned as much as possible about Sri Lankan history and culture.

Great guided tour! - We had a wonderful and exciting trip in amazing Sri Lanka. We were lucky enough to be guided by Dulaj for a week. Dulaj and the driver Chandana took us on exciting adventures ranging from city visits in Kandy to climbing the lion cliff. Our guide Dulaj was very nice and accommodating and gave several suggestions on what to try and see. He was proud of his country which meant that we got to see and experience more things than what was included in our tour. We stopped along the roads and got to taste many for us unknown fruits and Sri Lankan specialities, wonderful experiences. Also felt luxurious to get a ride where you were going by a safe and skilled driver.

Sri Lanka at it's best and with a fabulous guide - We had never been to Sri Lanka before, so it was all new to us. We travelled around in 8 days with the best of guides Buddhika Girihagama. He was very knowledgeable and flexible around our needs which gave us the the best experience and understanding around Sri Lankan history and culture. He easily navigated us around so we could visit places when it was less tourists. We really felt like a family. I really recommends him and the company. We will come back.

Sri Lanka Feb. 2026 - We were met at the airports by our 5 star driver/guide Amila, who gave us a fantastic and unforgettable holiday. He was incredibly sweet and helpful and knew his country well. It was a great privilege to have your own driver, which meant great flexibility and we had a lot of great experiences and met many interesting people on our trip. Amila drove us around safely and gave my wife, our daughter and myself an unforgettable holiday. Top recommendations. The Nielsen Family, Denmark

The bedst guide! - Once we arrived in Sri Lanka, we were met at the airport by our guide/driver. From the first to the last day, he was smiling, welcoming, helpful, caring and skilled. It was safe and very rewarding to have him as a driver and guide. He was always willing to give us that extra experience that helped make this holiday fantastic. Sunil told us a lot about Sri Lanka and the country's culture, which completed the experience. We can highly recommend Sunil as your guide in Sri Lanka. He is truly unique . Kind regards Tina og Hanna

Lovely tour with private guide in Sri Lanka - We have experienced the magic of Sri Lanka and are super happy with our tour and with our personal tourist guide Pradeep. He gave us first class service and guidance and we felt completely safe with Pradeep's planning and driving. He also took us to cozy local places in addition to the program. Everything went as smoothly as it could and Pradeep really made our trip a great trip. We want to give Pradeep and Mahaweli Tours our very best recommendations. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience of the beautiful Sri Lanka. Good setup and very memorable excursions.
